Saguni - Box Office Collection

Saguni opened to negative reviews from critics and a mixed response from the audience. Online social media and others thrashed the film. Despite that, Saguni became Karthi's highest grosser worldwide.

The film was sold for high prices for a Karthi film banking on the fact that Karthi does not a have a single flop till date. Siruthai's blockbuster success also justified the price of its high distribution rights. After the movie met with mixed public talk, Saguni was set off to be Karthi's first loss venture at the box office.

Saguni grossed 26 crores in Tamil Nadu by the end of its run. This is huge considering its mixed word of mouth. It barely fell behind Siruthai's collection in the state. But due to high prices, Saguni incurred a loss of 6 crores for its Tamil Nadu distributors.

Outside of Tamil Nadu Saguni was in red for distributors barring for the overseas market where the film performed well.

Saguni grossed a total of 45 crores worldwide with 36.50 crores from India and USD$1.56M abroad. It was declared a "Flop" as it fell victim to high distribution prices.

The following shows what distribution method each territory is distributed through. The Profit/Loss column in the distributor analysis table is calculated based off of which distribution method a territory is distributed through. This makes it so that a distributor's profit is not always calculated by subtracting "Rights" from "Share". Indian Movie Stats focuses on four different distribution methods: Non Refundable Advance, Minimum Guarantee, Advance Basis, and Own Release.
